I feel like these artists just screwed over their own community. Sure they got some money, but at what cost?
The owner originally allowed these artists an opportunity and a venue to express themselves at no cost, and when he had decided it was time to move on, his kind gesture was met with hostility and greed on the part of the artists.
These artists may have gotten their payday, but in doing so now every building owner will think twice about allowing artists to paint, and their fellow artists and the general public who enjoy this kind of art will be the ones that suffer the consequences the most.

The artists wouldn't have any power to play with and wouldn't have even have had this venue to practice their art if it wasn't for the kindness of the building owner. The artists are setting a precedent for property owners that to prevent being "beaten like a dog", the best solution is to not let people practice their art on your property.
